colombia coffee
by qima cafe · london, uk
you'll taste grapefruit before black tea. this is colombia . blackberry jazz, a washed colombia from qima cafe.
expect grapefruit-forward acidity with a dry, tea-like body and flavors that recall black tea. it's a clean, light-feeling cup rather than a sweet or syrupy one.
it's a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before drying to produce a clean, fruit-forward clarity in the cup.
filter methods like pour over or drip suit this coffee best, as they highlight the grapefruit brightness and tea-like delicacy that define it. a slightly restrained brew temperature, around 90-92°c, helps preserve that structure without over-extracting.
qima cafe sits on warren street like it's been waiting for you to find it. the 4.8-star rating from nearly 500 reviews tells one story, but the real narrative happens when you taste what they're doing with their beans. this isn't the kind of place that talks endlessly about their process. they just do the work. the espresso pulls clean and bright, with the kind of balance that makes you understand why people become coffee obsessives. pastries arrive warm from wherever they source them, pairing beautifully with whatever's in your cup. regulars know the rhythm here. they've found something that works and they stick with it. warren street has plenty of options, but qima operates differently than the chains surrounding it. smaller batches, more attention, actual care in every pour. sometimes the best places are the ones that don't need to shout about what they're doing.
